Quite a few years ago Frank had just been hired as the QB coach for the Indianapolis Colts when Peyton Manning joined that team. Peyton has told me many times about what a tremendous impact Frank had on his early development.

Fast forward a few years, and Frank Reich had moved on to become the QB coach of the San Diego Chargers and had taken over the tutoring of their then rookie QB, Phillip Rivers. You know that that guy turned out to be pretty darned good, too, don't you?

And now Frank Reich is the Offensive Coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, and though his exact title is not "QB Coach", believe me, Frank is the man who is really in charge of developing the guys at that crucial position. And so, the Eagles bring aboard Carson Wentz who develops swiftly, under Frank's direction, into an outstanding player at that position. And now, when an injury plagues Wentz, and a substitute, Nick Foles, returns to the lineup, it takes only a game or two before Frank Reich is able to resurrect that young man's abilities, execution, and career.

I feel there is much more that qualifies him for a head coaching position with an NFL team. He is highly intelligent, and he is also a person of high character and high ideals. Jim Kelly has often told me of how meaningful his teammate Frank Reich had been in helping Jim to develop into the top notch player - - AND PERSON - - that he was - - and is. Frank is intelligent, and he is also a person of high character and high ideals. He is an outstanding example of how a good citizen should conduct himself, and he is possessed of a personality which leads to his ability to work so well with others. He was a great team leader, by both action and example during his playing days. He cared about everyone in the Buffalo Bills organization. He is a wonderful husband, father, and family man.

Reich played in 113 games over his 13-year career, throwing for 6,075 yards and 40 touchdowns.
